Hello Mr.Deji, I connected my Hp Laptop (Pavilion DV9260US) to LCD (LG 42 model LH4900) through HDMI cable by enabling SPDIF as Default, both the pictures and sound from the TV were fantastic.Though i did not try the head phone on the laptop but there was no sound coming out from laptop only from the TV.
I have tried the HP link you recommend to me> I update both conexant audio graphic and nividia but has no effect when i tried it with my LCD Samsung. I guess if I could get the HDMI option from the sound panel may be the problem can be solved with Samsung TV. But the question remains, HOW?

Hello Maingain,

Seems you are using the wrong display driver. click on this link to install the correct one.

My Dell Insprion Laptop, is not connecting to the internet. My BT Wireless HomeHub is working perfectly fine. But my laptop is not picking up any connections. Please help!!!

Dear X Fox,

If wireless networks are not in range then you need to switch on your wireless button. This can be found on the
laptop itself, since you didn't specify model and operating system type am not able to go any further.

Good luck

Hi Engineers in the house, ive been trying to download the recovery for months now, i would like to kmow if i could get the Recovery CD here in Nijeria, im stay @ Lagos. Thanks

Dear opad,

Thank you for the above enquiry and do appreciate your explanations.
Next time please specify if XP or Vista.your acer product feature 4 to 5 GB
of hidden partition on your hard disk. make sure charger is plugged in

To start the recovery process:

Restart the system.
While the Acer logo is showing, press Alt + F10 at the same time to enter the recovery process.
Follow the onscreen instructions to perform system recovery.

You don't need to buy any disk unless you have wiped or upgrade your operating system which in effect
will have deleted the recovery partition. Note: performing this action will erase your personal data such as files, music,
video etc. Good luck

Still waiting for help. I am having problem connecting my Hp Pavilion dv9000 laptop to my Samsung LCD Le. The picture was perfect on TV but no sound came out. I`v tried many ways but no success. For instance i have done the following:- Control Panel>>hardware and Sound>>Sound>>I right click to disable the speakers and make the SPDIF interface (symbol) as default. I restarted the system for the changes to take effect but still no sound from TV.I`v visit many sites for this problem but still can`t solve it. I noticed that some have three Symbols at Sound on control panel but my has only two which are SPEAKERS and SPDIF Interface but no HDMI symbol that shows in some other instructions that i have seen in other site. I have tried the above ways with my other LG 4900LCD and it works fine with sound and Picture.

Dear maingain.

Is this XP or Vista ? samsung model number ? when you tried with LG where does the sound came from ?
e.g. from the tv itself or from the laptop ? Here's your diagnostics, connect the laptop to LG then connect

headphone to the laptop > see if you get any sound. you can't get sound from your laptop to the tv that's
impossible. I take is this is HDMI, DVI or VGA connection. try VGA and see if you"ll get a sound.

Look under your laptop and see if yours is dv9000ea or cto. http://search.hp.com/gwukeng/query.html?lang=en&qp=segment:any&hps=&hpn=Support+%26+Drivers&la=en&cc=uk&charset=utf-8&qt=dv9000

select yours from the list > support and troubleshooting > solve a problem >Display / Video / Graphics

Could you please let us know
how you got on as this help other users and re-enforces

When I click on ok nothing happens. But if I click on cancel the system will restart and get to windows but no files will open.
now if I debug the following will show

The Application failed to initialise properly (0c0000076) click on okay to terminate the application



Please people in the house I need serious help as at now, my cd drive is not recognised again and i cannot format the system, The system do not even recognise program again and it keeps restarting over again.

Hello adino,

The term[b] application failed to initialise properly [/b] means one or more of your application is malfunctioning
and may need reinstalling. what programmes do you recently installed ?  Ok, Here's your diagnostics.

click start > run  and type in eventvwr and look through the date to find an application causing it. if doubts
use google to investigate. meanwhile start, run, appwiz.cpl, see if you can post the screen shot
using prtsc on your keyboard. if you prefer we can use system restore to take back the computer to how it was
click start, run, rstrui press enter and select a date > follow on screen instruction.

and press enter and look for  windows defender. make sure start up type is automatic and started not stop. you
can also use this opportunity to start other programmes.

right-click mycomputer -> select properties -> click on the advanced tab ->
in the performance box select settings and -> click on the advanced tab ->
in the virtual memory box click on change -> increase the maximum size (e.g if the maximum size is 1000, you could increase it to 2000) and click on set then click on ok; that should incease the size of your page file

Yeap.

Oh thanks. Hope I'm not bothering you tho.

Got the explanation. . . . and some on Google. After looking up the infos, I found one that I think is okay. I dont want to ask the customer service peeps because they'll say whatever I want to hear to sell their products.

Do you think that this technical details are close to ideal?:

@FL Gator. you don't need something that expensive. get a low spec computer that does the basics
and save your money unless you badly need it. Then go ahead.

Hello everyone

I have issues connecting my printer to my computer, each time i plug in the usb cable, it always bring up "usb devices not recognized", please can someone help out?

Dear honeric01,

Thank you for your enquiry and do appreciate your explanations. what make is your operating system and printer ?
e.g. Vista, WIndows 7, XP, Lexmark, HP, Brothers. Having this information will aid me and my colleagues in providing
technical support. I take it you have installed the printer driver. Due to Windows XP popularity, I take is windows XP.

Try connecting other usb device and see if you"ll receive the same error.

Here's my prescriptions in resolving this issue http://support.microsoft.com/kb/871233
Take your time and adhere to step by step instructions. If no joy follow the below

2. Here's your diagnostics. Nothing is wrong with your USB cable. Use google to find out how you can uninstall the printer
driver and reinstall it from the manufacturer website so we start afresh. Do not connect your printer at this point !
Finish installing the drivers from the firm website then connect the printer so windows can find and install the drivers.

Good luck
